How does a ban of a VPN work?

• vectorEQ 7y ago
  likely an ip ban of all of their entry servers and/or perhaps dns sinkholing of the domains connected to them (redirect dns queries to some government owned block page). that way users cannot establish the initial vpn connection to start their sessions. you could then proxy or use another vpn to get into it but that would defeat the purpose, effectively removing the vpn service's utility. its difficult to completely stop any connections to some point, but it's fairly do-able in this way to make a service practically useless even if it's still reachable in some ways.
